Putting the char-marks on chickenPosted Jun 25th 2006 8:04PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Business, Poultry, Magazines, On the Blogs, AmericaFast Food News recently pointed out an interesting little article on the ways fast food companies produce their "grilled" chicken. The piece, which ran in Fast Company, details the process of how chicken breasts are flavored en masse in a "tumble marinator" before being cooked by jets of hot air and then sent under the hot branding wheels of machines like the CM-40 II Charmarker to get that fresh off the grill look (right). Then they're frozen and shipped. A Burger King chicken breast has over 30 ingredients and Panera's grilled chicken is flavored with beef extract, according to Fast Company. Coincidentally, Fast Food news had another funny post about using meat as a condiment.
